What is wrong with the Dem party in California with both Pelosi and Feinstein reigning supreme for so long. There should nationwide term limits to stop the entrenchment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, so much this, but neither party has any interest in it. Why can any member of congress serve for a longer duration than the president? Let's be ~fair, 2 terms for senate and a max of 6 for house. I am a little less sure about the SC, perhaps 5 presidential or 3 senate cycles, so 18-20yrs. Of course, none of this would matter if the revolving door still exists, so hard limits on future government work or contracting with must follow, 10 years bans imho. Should be no problem for the anti-big government repubs especially given their love for the private sector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She only survived the rise of the tea party and latterly Trump due to the corrupt influence of big money in the Dem party. This says nothing about her personal wealth, her family history and the business activities of her husband, which include some postal service fun, which I am sure the posters here are very aware of... Here's Nancy telling the nation how she understands the suffering of the American people... sickening level of hubris. Nope, sorry, don’t see that at all. A real fighter. Loved it when she tore Trumps script up in Congress. She’s been one of the strongest bulwarks against Trumps and the GOPs corruption. Go Nancy.

Just imagine that. I'm not even sure why you limit the President to two terms and exclude people not born in America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy is good at a bit of grandstanding and mocking of Trump, but an effective opposition she is not. There is no point ripping up the script if you don't stop any of the content from actually happening. Every significant moment she has had to actually stop some of the insanity happening she has caved. Every bit of leverage she has she gives away. Yeah her sarcastic clap got all the news, but it is the gentle wave as she ushers through all the awful Republican laws that is her real impact (or lack of impact). She is a paid to lose corporate shill and whilst she rules the party nothing of substance will change in America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of money there, requires some additional constraints to be placed. An alternative solution or path towards that would be welcomed by many, so please share! I have yet to see evidence that experience or otherwise is a primary determining factor in the quality of decisions taken. Ideology is ideology, regardless of age unfortunately.

Waved through 2 massive budget bills (e.g., with a larger increase in defense spending than even Trump wanted), a massive corporate tax bill and a corporate give-away at the start of the covid crisis.

The snoops "facts" thing you posted carefully framed the question, but did not address the truly concerning issue. Her husbands firm (not him of course, no way whatsoever that would happen) was engaging in contracting with federal agencies while she was in an extremely powerful government position, and it was taking advantage of the poor precious and critical for democracy USPS too. At best, there was a conflict of interest in what Nancy and her dear hubby were up to. All too typical behavior among the elite in the US.
